Kartika - The holiest month

Sri Yashoda Damodara

In all auspicious month Kartika is the month Lord Krishna love so much. In this month Lord Krishna please very quick from Their devotees. In this year it begins from Saturday 31 Oct 2020, and end Monday 30 Nov 2020. This month is also known as Damodara month because Lord Krishna played a nice pastimes.

There are few things we must do to get benefit of this holy month because Krishna will be pleased very easily in this month:

1. Daily offer ghee lamp (deep) to Damodara and Tulsi

2. Daily recite Damodar ashtkam while offering lamp

3. Chant maha mantra as much as possible (Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare)

4. Read Damodar pastimes from Krishna book, where Lord Krishna saved Nalkubera and Manigriva (sons of kuvera) from cursed of Narada muni as they became arjuna trees

5. Try not to offense anyone

6. Try to visit Vrindavan dham if possible (due to covid-19), if it is not then do virtual yatra (meditate from your mind)

7. Do Govardhan parikrama and Vrindavan parikrama

There are so many places to see in Vrindavan dham as we start our parikrama first from Kusum sarovar (a beautiful lake), we goes to gupt Ganges, Punchhari then reach at Udhava kund, Sri Radha kund and Shyam Kund (most auspicious to take bath in this month).

There are so many temples but 7 temples mainly build by our Six Gowswamis that is Sri Radha Madan Mohan, Radha Gopinath, Radha Govind, Radha Damodara (where srila prabhupada used to stay and translate Srimad Bhawatam), Radha Shyam Sundara, Radha Raman and Radha Gokulananda.

There is a beautiful place where you can take peaceful breath that is Sri Vrinda kunda (the main in-charge of Sridham Vrindavan). Without her sanction we can not enter into Vraj dhama.

There is a very famous place, people go to see the amazing thing over there that is Nidhi vana. Where Radha rani and Krishna even come every day.

There is varsana dham (a place of Radharani), a beautiful and auspicious place to seek devotional service from Radharani. Only Radha rani can give us the Krishna prema (love of Krishna).

Anyone who is interested to have virtual lamp offering at home in this auspicious month can contact us.

Damodara month ki jai.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor, rich, educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam. Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 laces bir

Be Humble - Time can change everything

When we get name, fame and power we puffed by the false ego and become arrogant to the people and think no one is greater than me. But our history says, who were arrogant, time has collapsed all of them. None of us can say, I can beat the time and can go against it. We all are under control of Time as Lord Krishna has already stated in the Bhagwad Gita (I am the time and eveything is under my control). But due to our false ego we do not accept this fact become arrogant with other people instead of becoming humble with them. Who was "King of Good times" now became "King of bad times", so easily we can understand time make us King or Beggar. So we should be always being humble with the people in our Good times and take blessings from them for our bad times, but we do exactly opposite of it, we become arrogant in Good times and seek for blessings in our bad times. But what is the use of it, when you hurt someone, you lose sympathy from that person's heart.

A visit to GEV

Srila Prabhupada was very much concerned about modern life style and he always used to tell his disciples, only building temples are not enough to live a pure Krishna Conscious way of life along with it we must follow our Vedic Culture and in our Vedic Culture we were fully dependent on Cows and Lands but in modern age we have rejected both and result we are not getting healthy foods and milk products. So we have to build Farm Communities where we can live a healthy life and in minimum amount of time we can produce grains, vegetables, fruits and milk products etc. and rest of the time they can do their devotional service. Milk and Grains can not be produced in factories and for this we require Cows and Lands. Govardhan Ecovillage is a project of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The project is owned and managed by ISKCON Wada, Maharashtra. It is the result of an ardent desire of H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine
